Who Is Oliver Tree?

San Francisco's 10th annual Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival drew a sea of music fans into Golden Gate Park earlier this month for three days of authentic Bay area cuisine, wine tasting and live music from a diverse lineup of top artists. Northern California's own Oliver Tree took the stage on the festival's opening day, Friday August 11th.

Oliver Tree compiled an 11-song setlist for his hometown set at Outside Lands Music festival. He kicked off his set with "Circuits," "Lies," and "Alien Boys." Tree included one of his newest tracks into his set, "Cheapskate," a collaboration with Berlin-based producer and composer Robot Koch. Oliver Tree wrapped up his Outside Lands festival performance with "When I'm Down."

The Santa Cruz native is known for his wide-ranging creativity. Even by looking at his social media pages it's apparent that Oliver Tree's 'brand' is composed of equal elements art, humor, and originality. As as a vocalist, producer, and creative director of all of his audiovisual projects, Tree's unique style also translates to his ensemble. Setlist.fm photographer Chris Tuite caught up with Oliver Tree in the midst of all the music festival chaos for some quick portraits.
